Chapter 22: The assault

Maria's POV

"Aghhhh!" I screamed and smashed my phone on the wall. Damn Vincenzo! I thought to myself. 

It wasn't just his words that made my toes curl in disgust, but also how he said them. He wanted to hurt me. Have they not hurt me enough? At what point does that family stop and say it's okay. 

'Why do they keep hurting me!' I raged and began to smash everything in sight. Ursula must have heard from her room because she panicked into mine.

"What is going on, Maria?" She looked at me in fear.

"I am going to kill Vincenzo! I will do it with my bare hands," I replied.

"What is it again?" she stood before me, stopping me from damaging my mirror. "Wait, does this have something to do with social media's trending topic? Did you perhaps have something to do with that?" She asked. 

I could hear the panic in her voice. I wondered if she was disappointed in me.
